King Solomon Wrote, “If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength! Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done? (Proverbs 24:10-12 NIV)

The story line is familiar. A hurricane strikes. An earthquake destroys buildings. A tornado wipes out part of a town. Emergency responders rush in with aid. TV crews show us the damage and destruction. Early responders fill a need. When they leave, the long term issues for business owners begin.

We use Smart Phones for more things. The power is incredible. You can now download a free App from the Red Cross for emergency first aid.

Many common injuries are covered, some with how to videos. Content can be preloaded, so you can easily reference anyplace, any time. When I was growing up our parents had a first aid book that would come out if I got into poison ivy, or needed a burn treated. Now, you can literally get a free fist aid book on your phone, or IPad.
